    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer-readable medium to perform operations including receiving configuration data specifying a repetition factor for a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for message B hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ-ACK); receiving a reference signal receive power (RSRP) threshold for PUCCH repetition for the HARQ-ACK transmission; transmitting a capability report for the PUCCH repetition number for the HARQ-ACK transmission or a request for a PUCCH repetition number for the HARQ-ACK transmission; receiving the PUCCH repetition number for the HARQ-ACK transmission; and applying the indicated PUCCH repetition number for the HARQ-ACK transmission.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to use multiple beams for transmission or reception. The UE receives, from a base station, at least one medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) that indicates multiple activated transmission configuration indicator (TCI) states, receives, from the base station, at least one downlink control information (DCI) indicating a subset of TCI states of the multiple activated TCI states, wherein the MAC CE and the DCI are part of a TCI configuration, and wherein the subset of TCI states corresponds to multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs) of a wireless network, maps the subset of TCI states to the corresponding multiple TRPs based on the TCI configuration and selects a beam used for transmission or reception based on one mapped TCI state of the mapped subset of TCI states.
